The entrance scene of the Ito RG group, who boast a "100% attendance rate," was spectacular. They performed magnificent choreography to Ito RG's official theme song, "Setsunairo." Furusawa and Rian have both mastered it perfectly. The level of perfection is incomparable to when they practiced with El Desperado of New Japan Pro-Wrestling on the 15th
However, Dream Trine, who had received special training from former UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett, also known as "Blue-Eyed Kenshiro," just three days earlier, overpowered Ito RG with sheer strength
After Furusawa landed a triple dropkick, Sorei followed up with a series of chops. Furthermore, Hinami engaged in a fierce elbow exchange with Ito, inspiring her teammates
Dream Trine struggled against Rian's fierce attack, which had garnered support from the crowd, and there were moments when Hinami was caught in a combination move by Ito RG, but they didn't allow any decisive opportunities. After eliminating Ito and Furusawa, they unleashed their combined move, the Flapjack Neckbreaker, on Rian. Finally, Hinami delivered the finishing blow with a Mad Splash. Dream Trine, who had just defeated "Cosmic Carnival" Natsupoi, Mizumori Yuna, and Sakura Aya at the Korakuen Hall event on June 14th, successfully defended their titles for the second consecutive time in just five days
After the match, Hinami boasted, "If they're going to give 100% in their entrance, we'll give 100% in the ring, and we won, and we could feel their fighting spirit. But we're the ones who won today." However, she added, "I was a little moved by their entrance," praising the challenger team
Lady also appealed, "I hope that many more people will challenge for this artist's belt, even if they're not in a unit like Ito RG."
Meanwhile, Rian emphasized that Ito RG "didn't win the belt, but I think we did a good job with our entrance," to which Ito proudly replied, "We did a good job with our entrance. 100% is about the entrance, but that's only if the match is great. I think we did a good job."
Furthermore, he questioned, "There's one thing I don't like. Despite how popular we are at the venue, there's still no talk of us becoming an official unit." Furusawa agreed, saying, "That's strange."
Ito emphasized, "If we were made an official unit, we could definitely make money. In that case, let's call in Taro Okada (the president) and try to persuade him. We are a cash cow," and the three concluded with "Ito Respect Army, forever!"
It was after the third match. President Okada was in his greeting to the attendees, saying, "Earlier, I was with the president of CMLL..." when he noticed Thekla behind him. And she was holding a hair clipper. President Okada managed to escape at the last moment, but Thekla confidently delivered a microphone appeal, saying, "Hey you perverts! Thekla's back!"
As President Okada looked on in stunned silence, the venue erupted in loud chants of "Tekla." Last April, she was fired from Stardom for failing to pay fines and repeatedly assaulting President Okada and staff members while competing there. Since then, she has moved her main battleground to the United States and currently holds the AEW Women's World Championship
Afterward, Thekla entered the ring and struck President Okada with the microphone, venting her anger by shouting, "You fired me!" She then tried to spit on the Stardom logo, but President Okada blocked it with his body. Thekla then grabbed the belt from her pants and swung it three times at President Okada
That's when Starlight Kid appeared. He delivered a dropkick to Thekla, then retaliated with a mounted punch. As he went for a moonsault, Thekla panicked and ran away
Kid declared, "This is our ring. Don't defile it any further! I will never forgive you for defiling Stardom and the Stardom logo, so go home! Go home!"
Kid will challenge Thekla for the belt at "AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2026" in San Jose, California, on June 28th local time. Kid picked up the belt that Thekla had left behind in the ring and promised, "That's cool. Next time, I'll become champion and come back to Japan."
